San Antonio contact sought actively, strictly as an emergency point of contact.
GaGa is at Kelly AFB and has food, water, a clean place to be, and restroom facilities. We have family going to get her from Houston, but if there is a local contact in San Antonio who is willing to be an emergency contact for her, I would be extremely grateful.
One down, one to go. This is, in my view, good news for Uncle Al as well. The FEMA folks who were involved in GaGa's rescue know about him and where he is. He *will* get out.

I don't know anyone in San Antonio, but I have friends in Austin... if you aren't able to find anyone closer, let me know and I'll try a few of them to see if they'd be willing to help out (unfortunately, one of them is out of the running due to a recent knee injury -- he can't drive at the moment).
Thanks for the support, Cal.
Will keep fingers crossed for Uncle Al too.
In the meanwhile, though, you guys have kept me going. Thank you hardly approaches it.
We will all survive this, and come out stronger for it, right?
The stories coming out of Nola and MS right now are heartrending, and uplifting too. Thank you for being there.
::hugs::
Good wishes for your family winging their way, as well.
*hugs back*
Through all this, you've been so incredibly strong. I'm in awe of you a little.
It's easy to look strong online in black and white. There have been long, long spans where strong definitely hasn't been a good descriptor. But this *thing* we do on the internet? Is a phenomenal thing. I think Mer was right on in that we geeks need to get more involved...when I see what we can accomplish in scattershot mode, it seems clear that organized we'd be invincible.
Friend Charlotte's mother was at Biloxi Hospital and was ambulanced out to Birmingham two days after. Unbelievably, her house had one and a half inches of water, is fine and is located 1/2 mile off the beach. Charlotte is on her way to B'ham now to visit her and will be using my house as a spend the night spot for the next few weeks as they stabilize her mother's heart and manage to get her rehydrated and out of pain. She's not doing great, but she's a helluva lot better than most and I'm thankful for that.
Now, praying for your uncle... *prays real hard*
Love you,
K
I've been thinking about you and yours.

New Orleans so desperately needs some of you Logistics people. I've been listening in on the National Guard frequency as much as I can. They've been trying to figure out a) where the buses for the convention center are supposed to take people b)how to get fuel to the buses then c)now that they have fuel, where the buses are for about 5 hours now.
